Hey everyone. Sorry to be away so much. Been busier than I think I can handle over the last couple of weeks.... I have had to play catch up in a lot of places. So here are a few quick updates

1: My message box and deviation box went into overload. I couldn't read, respond, anything to most anything.... All the deviations I was watching were coming up as nothing...So I had to mass delete yesterday....IT seemed to be the only way to get access to anything. Looks like I found the limit for messages and deviations out the hard way. So, please don't think I am ignoring you if you posted a question, I just couldn't do anything about it...

2: I have not forgotten about the Toxaris contest and infact I have the results but I need to put together the news article and my journal entry for it before I announce the winners. I will be throwing in a something a little extra special in for the winner because of my absence.

3: Actually I don't think there is a 3, well, there maybe but my brain is fried right now. If I think of anything I will let you know. Again, sorry about not being here.

I never thought a day would come where I would need to place my thanks and welcomes over all here in my journal but it seems that is the case now.

I am swamped with so many messages a day now it takes me nearly 6 hours to go through them all! Not joking. So, here are a few things I want to say to everyone that comes to my page...

Thank you ever so much for faving or watching me! It means the world to me that people enjoy my art enough to want to take a second look at it later or to keep track of what I am up to here on DA.

Thank you for every comment you leave on my art and on my page. I love reading what people have to say, good and bad. The good keeps me going, the bad helps me to strive to better.

If you are dropping by to say thank you for me fav+ing a work of yours or watching you... You are most welcome! I wouldn't fav or watch you if there wasn't something that intrigued me. Consider it my highest compliment.

I will still be thanking and commenting and the like a lot I am just having to cut back. I swear I am starting to sound like a broken record when I am telling 20 people on 1 piece of mine - Thankies! Thank you! and so forth.

Thank you for understanding that this message is here not to be lazy so I don't have to reply but to open up more time in my day. More time to create art, to work on the group, to look at other artists works, fav+ and comment on them. To run my business and take care of my family. You have my deepest gratitude for your understanding.

There are some great contests right now being held on DA as well as a lot of new features popping up all over the place. Make sure to read your friends journals. You may be surprised to see a new contest or a feature in there that you were not aware of.
